Silver Ships on the Sea, by Pok the Bard.
Album: Anthology

SILVER SHIPS ON THE SEA
Winter's call is calling
Through the leaves
You can hear the rustling sounds saying
Free me please
Said the seventh angel standing
Amid the trees
Say please come taste my simple wines
Please come to your rest

All along the stone strewn causeway
Serpents coil and hiss
Beckoning and whispering
Bowing for the kiss

See me and free me
Do which is best
Be me and free me
Do which is best
And there's a hundred thousand elves
Waiting in their boats of sunlight
Waitng and waiting for the rite
For the rite

Spring times are come again
And we are but men
Speaking and seeking
Beginning again
And you who stand on the border
Waiving goodbye
You wouldn't listen to their words
You recognised the lie

Come down to the sea
At dawn with me
Our boat is a bobbing and a rocking on the waves
How is it you look at me, is it how I you?
Are we agreed on our journeys being long due?
Being long due

And so the end
Was only the beginning
I rose to catch the sun
But found it missing
Loneliness oh loneliness
My only guide
A boat a-bobbing
Way out on the tide
Way out on the tide

Fun Facts:
* Silver Ships on the Sea was composed by Pok in the summer of 1984.
* It is a wonderful whimsical wistful tale with a drop-D in the guitar - 'Drower tuning'.
* We all loved this extraordinary song from the very first hearing and are very happy to be able to finally release this version.
* We feel it is both authentic to the original, as well as capturing the full spectrum of sounds as imagined and conceived back in the 80s.
* We invite the listener to feel the closeness of the festival crowd, and sense the dry ice and lighting on stage as the performers writhe and invoke under the moon.
* What started out as a pretty little acoustic number about the Elves leaving Middle Earth turned into the most uncompromisingly relentless piece of hardcore psychedlia one could possibly imagine.
* We had two attempts at recording the sea at Jacob's Ladder beach in Sidmouth, but sadly both were thwarted.
* Firstly by strong winds which rendered the recordings horrible.
* The second visit was thwarted by somebody's wretched dog, which barked and barked and barked for the entire time that we were there.
* It was unbelievable.
* It's probably still barking now.
* Eventually we downloaded somebody else's recording of the sea.
* It was a shame but it did the job.
* We had always imagined the flotilla of silvery elven boats waiting at the water's edge at Jacob's Ladder beach.
* Originally the acoustic guitars were played on a borrowed Ovation-style instrument, but due to technical reasons we had to re-record them all.
* The re-recorded acoustic guitar was performed by Pok on his Tanglewood, and there is some video footage of the recording which we hope to publish someday.

Pok: Silver Ships on the Sea

This piece is an elegant interplay between lightly dramatic and comedic. Electric guitar and piano play the melody over a sparse bed of pizzicato strings, bass, and jazzy drums. A feeling of a carefully unfolding of a story embedded in this piece. A nice cue for a wide variety of drama and comedy programming.

Mysterious and whimsical, yearning and curious, this marimba-based cue is excellent for suspending light-hearted intrigue. Besides marimba, the arrangement is swept along by piano, bells, sound effects, pads, bass, snaps, percussion and light drums. Highly suitable for dramedy, comedy, light dramatic moments.

Have you ever felt that gentle, unspoken call deep within your heart? Even when you weren’t sure of what it was? In every crisis, every brush with danger, every need for direction, God was attempting to guide you to safety. Even though you didn’t always recognize it—your heart has always been reaching out for Divine help. It’s the way we were wired.

This week, I’m inviting you personally to join me on a transformative journey. I want to help you learn how to distinguish the subtle whispers of God in your own heart. And I want you to recognize when your heart is calling out to God! Imagine embarking on a path where, no matter what you face, you’ll always have hope, never feel abandoned, and truly experience His supernatural presence.

He promised He would never leave you, never fail you, and never forsake you! He’s always there, but you’ve got to learn to recognize His voice! Together, we will explore “The Cry of My Heart” and discover the profound connection that ensures you are never alone.

Seeking God in his Word - Psalm 119:1-16

Seeking (Prod. B Y)

"Out of Reach" delves into the complexities of the human journey, acknowledging the inevitable struggles and suffering we encounter. It's not a naive optimism, but rather a realistic portrayal of the challenges inherent in growth. The song suggests that often, the very things we seek – whether it's understanding, peace, or connection – seem elusive, "out of reach." This creates a tension that drives the narrative and resonates deeply with anyone who has faced obstacles.

However, the core message isn't one of despair. Instead, it posits that this sense of being "out of reach" is a catalyst for transformation. It's in the moments of feeling lost that we are compelled to search, to question, and ultimately, to discover a deeper strength within ourselves. The "light within" is not a given, but something found through the process of seeking. The song emphasizes that this journey is not always linear or easy; it involves moments of darkness and uncertainty. Yet, it is precisely through navigating these difficult times that we cultivate resilience and uncover our inner resources.

[Lyrics]
Verse 1
I see you sinking, struggling, drowning in the deep
Caught in suffering's ocean, can't get no sleep
I offered you a lifeline, you pushed it away
"Not now, not this, maybe some other day"
So I gotta disappear, that's my strategic move
Sometimes absence is the only thing that proves
The value of what's always been right in your face
Creating that void so you finally embrace

Hook
When I'm gone, that's when you notice me (Notice me)
When I'm gone, that's when you finally see (Finally see)
When I'm gone, that's when you start to reach (Start to reach)
The help was always there, just out of reach

Verse 2
Your house is burning but you're playing with the flame
Poison in your system, you don't know who to blame
I'm like that wise physician with the remedy in hand
Stepping back so you finally understand
It ain't about my ego or getting your respect
It's about waking you up to what you neglect
Sometimes the teacher's gotta exit the stage
For the student to turn to the unread page

Hook
When I'm gone, that's when you notice me (Notice me)
When I'm gone, that's when you finally see (Finally see)
When I'm gone, that's when you start to reach (Start to reach)
The help was always there, just out of reach

Bridge
I never really left though (No)
I'm eternally present (Yes)
The guiding spirit flowing
Through your veins like a current
You think I disappeared (Nah)
But I've been here all along (Right here)
When you stopped taking things for granted
That's when my signal got strong

Verse 3
You gotta lose me to find me, that's the paradox
When I'm out of sight, that's when your mind unlocks
The hidden wisdom in plain view
The path was always there, waiting on you
I'm in the silence between your thoughts
In the space where attachment gets caught
I'm in the breath that you finally notice
When suffering gets real and you lose your focus

Hook
When I'm gone, that's when you notice me (Notice me)
When I'm gone, that's when you finally see (Finally see)
When I'm gone, that's when you start to reach (Start to reach)
The help was always there, just out of reach

Outro x2
So thank me for leaving, thank me for the space
'Cause now you're seeking, looking for my face
And in that seeking, you'll find what was true:
The strength you're looking for—that strength is you

Welcome to the musical world of The William Altig Choir, where ancient wisdom meets contemporary sound.

Inspired by the teachings of the Lotus Sutra and infused with deep spiritual themes, my music blends the rich traditions of blues and folk with modern elements, creating a unique fusion that resonates with both the heart and soul.

I've been captivated by the Lotus Sutra's messages of compassion, wisdom, and transformation since my youth. It's a journey of self-discovery that has found its voice in my music. Each song is a reflection of my own spiritual awakening and a celebration of universal truths.

My style is characterized by emotive storytelling, powerful lyrics, and a commitment to exploring the depths of human experience. Featuring contemplative blues, acoustic slide guitar, saxophone melodies, and the harmonies of a gospel choir, my music reflects a quest for enlightenment and a better understanding of the self.

Join me on this musical journey. Together, we can explore the teachings of the Lotus Sutra, finding solace, hope, and a deeper connection to the world around us.

* For DIY musicians:

Looking to grow your fanbase? Here's a proven strategy for success. It's a bit time-consuming at first because you need to work at it often. However, the awesome results will make it worth your while:

http://www.wudrecords.co.uk/miscellaneous/be-discovered-on-social-media

That article was published in March 2017. While some of the links may no longer work, the theory absolutely will. Try it for yourself!

* Unfortunately...

Due to brexshit, broken britain, rip-off britain, corruption, lies and bias in the media, bigotry, racism, intolerance, polarisation, the fact that some of our family members would not be allowed to remain post-brexit, state-sponsored child trafficking (yes, that's right, we said it - it's pretty shocking, start reading from here if you don't believe it: https://forced-adoption.com/), an increasing sense of frustration and exasperation, and general total weariness of being treated with nothing but derision, ignorance and contempt by the entire shebang since the early 80s, we decided enough was enough and moved our entire operation from brexeter in the uk to begin our grand brexodus in 2017. We are now brefugees, living in brexile very near the border of the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany. If you live in (the crumbling remains of) the uk, do yourself a favour and leave. The upgrade in life quality will blow your mind.

* What do we stand for as a label?

We support all independent musicians who are doing something we find interesting. Our team members all have formal music education qualifications.

We are against corporate brainwash muzak, their puppet friends in the mass media, and many other corporate activities. We will fight their desecration of music until either it stops or we die. 

We believe in helping others in the face of corrupt laws and a broken system. We are pro democracy, green energy and free speech.

We're politically liberal. We cannot support the republicans, maga or gun violence in the usa. We don't see there's any real difference, other than in name, between the christian far right in the USA and the taliban in Afghanistan.

In the uk we are broadly pro LibDem/Green/Labour/SNP. We are VERY anti-tory, bnp, ukip, and any of their friends and associates. We have no trust at all in the uk right wing press monopoly and the bbc. Beware the bbc and its claims of neutrality. It is the propaganda mouthpiece of the tory party. It even charges a propaganda tax called the licence fee. But we like Test Match Special and Radio 6, so does that make us hypocrites...? Hmm.

We support independence for Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Cornwall. We support the individual and the underdog. We are anti-putin and his war, and pro-Ukraine.

Please notice the careful use of capitals. Capital letters imply respect!

We're only interested in the colour of your soul. Not your skin, hair or socks.

We like cricket! Most of us support Somerset County Cricket Club.
